Settings

How is the setting significant to crime dramas that you have seen? Eg Miami, London and whitechapel.
What dies the setting connotate- what do we assocaite with the settings
What opportunities arise from using the setting.
The setting is significant to crime dramas as they can give you a overall understanding of where it is set and how that effects viewers. It is significant to how the crimes will be solved and who will solve them, For example:
Luther:
In luther it is set in the lower class of london, estates places like that. This reminds of the riots in 2011. Its going to be more rough and gritty, not like the higher class of  london. Kind of shows that the cops that are solving arent exactly going to be on the right side of the law, it will show through there surroundings behind them aswell. With this setting we associate more gangs, young peoples and homeless people getting killed.
Sherlcok:
Also sherlcok is set in London but its set more in the upper class areas like Baker street, the more richer side, also this shows in characters to how they dress, how they groom there self, take care of there apperience. With this setting we associate more band robberies and higher money crimes.

Criminal Minds The Fisher King Part 1

The team is splitting up for a holiday. Although they are on different locations, only Derek Morgan and Elle Greenaway stay in the same Jamaican hotel where a friend gave him a good rate. Suddenly they all get abrupt proof of the activity of a killer who calls Hotch -at his family home- telling him not the mind the first victims but save the girl. The diverse, personal clues prove he knows each team member well, as it turns out hacked from Garcia's computer files, and all fit in one grand scheme. Several clues converge to a certain Frank Ginley who got many convictions, but at his Langley home they find his corps, the start of a new elaborate series of clues for what he calls the team's quest, and it's obviously unusually personal, not sexual. There is a cliffhanger...
Huggo
While J.J. and Garcia remain at work, the BAU field agents are on a mandated two week vacation, to which they are all looking forward. Morgan and Greenaway are vacationing together, but separately, at a resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, it managed by Morgan's friend. Reid is visiting his schizophrenic institutionalized mother in Las Vegas. Gideon, without telling anyone, is at his cabin entertaining a friend. And Hotch is at home catching up with his wife, Haley, and newborn son, Jack. While on this break, all on the team are contacted in different way by an unknown third party, informing them to "save her". Some of their contact indicates unequivocally that someone has already died. And Garcia's computer has been hacked, much of the team's personal information included as what was taken. All the information they receive are clues to a puzzle, which includes the individuals on the team. Gideon tries the tactic of not following the unsub's rules, with unexpected results.

Bones, Season 1 Episode 1

Returning to Washington, D.C., after two months in Guatemala, where she was identifying victims of genocide, renowned forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is accosted at the airport by an agent from Homeland Security for carrying a human skull in her bag. Upon the arrival of FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, Brennan is released, which she finds odd and realizes that it was his plot to get her to help him on an FBI case. She refuses to help until Booth promises her full participation in the case.

At the crime scene, Brennan and Booth find decomposed human remains with only the bones remaining. Brennan and her assistant, Zack Addy (Eric Millegan), determine the victim is a woman 18 to 22 years old and was a tennis player. Back at the Jeffersonian Institute, Brennan argues with her boss, Dr. Daniel Goodman, for assigning her to work with other federal agencies without consulting her.

Inside the Medico-Legal Lab of the Jeffersonian Institute, Brennan examines the victim's remains while her colleagues inquire about the resemblances between themselves and the characters in her new book, Bred in the Bone. Dr. Jack Hodgins (T. J. Thyne), an entomologist, finds that the victim has been in the pond for more than two summers. Hodgins has also found small bone fragments in the silt, which he guesses are rana temporaria or, simply, frog bones. Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin), a forensic artist, uses a computer program she has developed, called the Angelator, to make a three-dimensional holographic reconstruction of the reassembled skull. The victim is revealed to be Cleo Louise Eller, a missing senate intern who was rumored to have had an affair with Senator Bethlehem.

Brennan wants to confront the Senator but Booth argues that he is not the only suspect. The Senator's aide, Ken Thompson, was Cleo's boyfriend. There is also Cleo's stalker, Oliver Laurier. Booth tells Brennan that they have a major case and that FBI Deputy Director Cullen is going to want to set up a special unit to investigate. To do everything by the book he wants her to stay at her lab; but Brennan coerces Booth into agreeing to let her come with him into the field.

Based on the particulates embedded in Cleo's skull, Hodgins determines that Cleo's skull may have been smashed by a sledgehammer on a cement floor with diatomaceous earth. By the distinctive damage done to her finger pads and the way the body was hidden, the team determines that the murderer had put a lot of effort into hiding the body. Hodgins also reveals that Cleo was taking medicine for her depression, while Brennan realizes that the small bones found with Cleo's body are not frog bones but fetal ear bones, indicating Cleo Eller was pregnant.

Hodgins, a devout conspiracy theorist, convinces Brennan that they may never find the truth because Senator Bethlehem will impede the investigation. Without telling Booth, Brennan recklessly confronts the Senator. Consequently, Deputy Director Cullen removes Booth from the case, but Brennan refuses to give up. With the help of her fellow scientists, she uncovers evidence that Cleo Eller's boyfriend Ken Thompson, had killed Cleo because he feared the scandal Cleo's pregnancy would cause and affect his career.
